Interesting to see how it impacts soft seat shadows for anyone lower than CL or P1.

Correct. You’d have to carry both passports as you can’t have an Australian visa in a UK passport if you’re a dual citizen that has been issued an AU passport (or until the Visa expires). You’ll be expected to enter/exit Australia on the AU passport. You’d also have to carry both if you were...

TSA Precheck seems to works for me on my AU passport. Have used it 4 or so times domestically since getting GE and never a question raised by the TSA agents scanning ID in the TSA Pre queue so if the details for the KTN are actually checked against my AU passport, it all seems to work OK with...

Email from QF today - QF12 LAX-SYD early November equipment changed to 789 due to "unscheduled maintenance on A380 fleet". Assuming the inbound SYD-LAX (or a MEL-LAX) will also have to change accordingly unless it's being done in LA. Missed out on getting to fly F for the first time. Also the...

Call chasing SC rollover and find they managed to somehow wreck a future flight booking in the process. 🤣

Agreed, it’s all a thinly veiled PR campaign to get bookings up from people thinking they are getting something for the “free” $50. The only other people really benefiting are the tiered flyers looking for another easy Status Extension and the people who crashed the Qantas website yesterday...

Currently SG but well on my way to WP this year with all the future travel I have booked. I’ve already retained SG through genuine travel since my membership year reset in May so I don’t get/need the Status Support extension for the first half of next year. Just to rub salt in, email I received...

The frustrating one is when you are travelling with a fairly full carry on that has a lot of portable electronics in it (cameras, cables, battery banks etc) and you ask Security if they would like you to unpack any of the larger items TSA style to make it easier for them X-ray. They insist no...

Take a printed copy of your ESTA to show at check-in when asked. Easier to print the ESTA and have it with you than to be that person rifling through emails and the ESTA website trying to find it on your phone at the check-in counter - yes I've seen that! As others have said, you'll also have...

I carry my passport when out at night in the US as some venues won't accept Australian drivers licences for ID checks at the door but will usually always accept Passports. Sometimes varies State to State so often easier just to bring it in case I know for sure a licence will work. (Even then...

Is the INT to DOM MCT also likely to change too for the same reason? Missed an almost 2 hour connection in late July, booked an almost 4 hour transit on an upcoming trip only for Qantas to move the departure of the International flight back 2 hours which now cuts it back down to around 1:50...

Just got the 5/5 congratulations in the app. When I press select reward button it just takes me to the about Green Tier page with nothing to actually do on the page, no options, no mention of selecting reward or a list of anything - just seems broken. Doesn't seem to be any other page I can...

I flew QF93 on a Sunday evening almost 3 weeks ago. Took probably 30-40 minutes to get through CBP. There was at least one Air France flight queuing with us so it's probably a bit tricky to know for sure on any given day. No smart gates/kiosks were operating so everyone was being manually...

All seems to be electronic these days anyway, I couldn’t quite see from the GEP interview queue but were the CBP officers at the end of the machines still stamping passports on the way past or they just completely wave you through as long as the machine doesn’t throw up an error with the facial...

Maybe it was just because I didn’t have a complicated history for the two Governments to have to comb through. The GEP page does warn that the process can take months however that’s probably the worst case scenario or possibly when they had a big backlog of applications when the world started...

Can confirm GEP enrolment for AUS/UK dual citizens does still work. I was able to start and complete the whole process in ~3 days earlier this month, completed the Interview on arrival at LAX the following day. Both passports were enrolled for GEP and my Aus passport did work for a TSA pre-check...

Hey AFF’ers - is it normal for seat selection on Y+ to be completely unavailable 4 weeks out from departure? I’m SG and just getting the window/aisle preference option with no option to pick anything. I’ve checked expertflyer and the whole Y+ cabin is either taken and the other half of the...

I was upgraded from Y to J across all sectors on my PER-SYD-LAX-JFK flight last year (best 60k points ever spent!), the confusing thing was the upgrade SMS from Qantas only said my upgrade on SYD-LAX was successful so I wasn’t sure if it was actually for all four legs until I called QFF to do...

Thanks!

Hi AFF’ers, Could someone check the J and Y+ upgrade availability on QF16 LAX to BNE on 24th for me please?
